Tumbling block quilt patterns are interesting as they have a 3
dimensional look due to the blocks looking like they are tumbling down
the quilt.

The quilt pattern has developed several variations over the years. The
traditional blocks were hand pieced and quilted. It used a diamond shape
in a repeating pattern. Now there are patterns you can buy that use the
strip piecing method or the paper piecing method to assemble them.
Below is a video clip by Marci Baker showing one of the newer methods
using strip piecing with no set-in seams.

Which ever method you choose the basic principle of placement of
light, medium and dark fabrics is essential for the success of the
design.

The blocks below are not for the traditional tumbling block quilt. They are another variation on the theme.
